Mot/ lowering springs - kentiiboii - 20-03-2012
Been told if your car is lowered it goes down as a advisory now on your mot. Is this true from people who's mot there car over last couple of weeks?
Re: Mot/ lowering springs - Toby - 20-03-2012
That is true indeed, however there is some tester discretion involved normally.
I wouldn't worry about it if I were you anyway, advisories are fine
Re: Mot/ lowering springs - Dan! - 20-03-2012
Only if you have a picky MOT tester. Most peoples lowered cars have gone through MOT's with no advisory about suspension, but I know of a few that have. Also, if he does decide to be a cock about it then its only an advisory so wont make any difference to pass/fail.
However, I think it is a fail if they consider the suspension to be dangerously low, i.e very low ground clearance, tyres rubbing arches on full lock, etc.

Yup...they cant see your rusty sills.....
You also get advisories for child seats as they can't test seatbelts....same sort of thing.
As said though, advisories are pointless anyway.....I always got 'oil leak' on mine...well obviously, it IS a peugeot lol!

He also probably felt sorry for you for having to sail around in a 406.

Mot/ lowering springs - kentiiboii - 20-03-2012
Lol thanks. My uncle was saying my cousin for a advisory for his coilovers last week as its lowered. But it's only lowered 30mm and it's a Astra sxi which are 20mm standard so what's the point. My uncle was saying he's got to declare them to insurance now they're on mot. Place I usually take mine are ok though.
